Career Highlights
Prof Fabiana Zingone has always been involved in clinical and basic gastroenterology research, since she was a trainee doctor in Gastroenterology, especially regarding gluten-related disorders (coeliac disease and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity) and inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's Diseases and Ulcerative Colitis). After her residency at the “Federico II” University of Naples, she completed a Master of Science in Applied Epidemiology at the University of Notting. During this period, Prof. Zingone developed the ability to analyse big data and conduct epidemiological studies and formed many productive and ongoing collaborations – leading to several important publications in coeliac disease.   She has several grants to fund coeliac disease-related projects and currently supervises several nursing and medical students with 5 doing coeliac-related work.  She has many international collaborations, including leading figures in coeliac disease research worldwide.  She has won several prizes for her work on coeliac disease and is currently a member of the board of the International Society for the Study of Celiac disease and of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and Digestive Endoscopy.
